Byrds Founding Members To Celebrate With 50th Anniversry Sweetheart Tour

The Byrds “Sweethearts of the Rodeo” wasn’t their biggest album. It only crept up to #77 on the Billboard album chart before falling off 10 weeks later. But in the years since, it has taken on legendary status as a pioneering country-rock album that paved the way for Bob Dylan’s “Nashville Skyline”, Poco, and later The Eagles own brand of country rock, among others.
To celebrate, founding members Chris Hillman and Roger McGuinn have lassoed Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives to join them for a 50th anniversary tour celebrating the album. So far, only 5 dates have been announced, but more tour stops will be announced later.
